FTM is the fourth plant to build EcoSport, joining Ford factories in Chennai, India, Chonqing, China and Camcari, Brazil, reinforcing the strategic role of Thailand as a volume production and export hub in the region, according to Ford.
The EcoSport eventually will be sold in 100 markets worldwide.
The ASEAN-specification EcoSport has a petrol, 1.5-litre, Ti-VCT engine with either a six-speed PowerShift (twin clutch) automated transmission or five-speed manual.
Ford’s SYNC in-car connectivity system is available.
